Selecting Student Representatives

The recent audit and report by the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education requested formalisation in the way student representatives are chosen at OCMS and we discussed this at the Student Forum held on 12 April 2017. It was resolved to have 3 student representatives, with 2 year terms, and re-election possible. At least one and at most two would stand down each year allowing for continuity. Once per year, around the begining of the fourth quarter volunteers or nominations will be called for and the student body will be given a chance to consider these people becoming their representatives.

The function of student representatives will remain as they are at present i.e. to follow up on actions agreed at the Forum or Board of Study meeting or on an ad hoc basis. It was requested that they also be responsible for improving communications to offshore students through an interactive online community forum. Whilst there is already a 'keeping in touch' link to the Community Space on Moodle, Terry Garde agreed to follow this up at the next BOS meeting to be held in May.
